Regardless of the mode of delivery, represent a guide to the relative teaching time and student effort required to successfully achieve a particular competency/module. This may include not only scheduled classes or workplace visits but also the amount of effort required to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, including any non-classroom activities.

Learning Outcomes

Details of Learning Activities

Learning and simulated work activities to demonstrate an understanding of the following: Classroom learning activities involve the understanding of following topics:

Assignment sheets will be available on the school’s local drive and DLS.

Overview of Assessment

This is a progressive assessment, the students are required to undertake summative assessments as follows:
A. Matlab Assignments
B. DSP Simulation Project
C. Written assignment/test
The students will be required to demonstrate their Matlab assignments and the DSP project as a part of assessment.

Assessment Tasks

This is a progressive assessment consisting of the following:

Assessment tasks: (Written Assessment): Digital Signal Processing Assignments (40%) The students will have to complete a minimum of four DSP assignments as specified by the teacher and demonstrate their work. The reports for the assignments should be submitted by each student individually. Written Assessment : 60% The students will have one written exam to demonstrate their theoretical knowledge based on Digital Signal Processing as detailed in the course.
